WAGE RATES AND PAYROLL REPORTING

Section 00830

1. PAYMENT

1.1. Classification Definitions, Building and Heavy and Highway

1.1.1. Definitions for Building Construction and Heavy and Highway classifications shall conform to the current “Occupational Information Network (O*NET)” as approved by the U.S. Department of Labor. For interpretive guidance, the Core Task list in O*NET will be used to make prevailing wage determinations. Final classification of workers will be made by the OWNER.

1.2. Minimum Wages

1.2.1. Workers on Project shall be paid not less than wage rates, including fringe benefits, as published by the Department of Labor (DOL) or the $22.05 minimum wage required by City of Austin Ordinance No. 20160324-015, whichever is higher. The Total Minimum Wage required can be met using any combination of cash and non-cash qualified fringe benefits provided the cash component meets or exceeds the $22.05 minimum wage required.

1.2.2. Such wage rates shall be used throughout the Contract. If a classification is to be used, which is not listed in the attached wage rates, CONTRACTOR shall submit to OWNER rates and classification proposed for use, for approval, prior to performance of the Work.

1.2.3. All laborers and mechanics working upon the Work for this Project shall be paid weekly, unconditionally and without subsequent deduction or rebate on any account (except such payroll deductions as are permitted by regulations issued by Secretary of Labor under the Copeland Act, Title 29 CFR, Part 3) full wages accrued and when due, computed at rates not less than wage rates bound herein pertaining to type of Work being performed. When Work is of such a nature that both Building and Heavy and Highway wage scales are incorporated into contract, CONTRACTOR shall pay wage rates to mechanics or laborers performing Work in more than one classification at the rate indicated for each classification for time actually worked as determined by area practice applicable to type (Site Construction Crafts or Building Construction Crafts) of Work being performed without regards to skill. Salaried specialists (project superintendent and administrative personnel only) in the permanent employment of CONTRACTOR do not fall under any Wage Classification. A supervisor/foreman who is not exempt under 29 CFR Part 541 and who spends more than a substantial amount of time (20 percent) in a given workweek as a laborer or mechanic must be paid the applicable Wage Rate for the classification of work performed for all hours engaged in such work as a laborer or mechanic.

1.2.4. Wage rates shall be posted by CONTRACTOR at site(s) of Work in prominent, easily accessible places where they can be seen by all workers. The following shall also be posted by the CONTRACTOR: City of Austin wage contact posters (English and Spanish), City of Austin Equal Employment Opportunity posters (English and Spanish), Workers’ Compensation Notice (English and Spanish), Texas Payday Law (English and Spanish), City Rest Break Ordinance (English and Spanish), City of Austin Non-Discrimination Statement (related to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act), and Federal Notices, as appropriate.

1.3. Overtime Requirements

Rev. Date 10/01/2025 Wage Rates and Payroll Reporting / 00830 Page 2 of 5

1.3.1. No CONTRACTOR, Subcontractor, or Sub-subcontractor contracting for any part of contract Work which may require or involve the employment of laborers or mechanics shall require or permit any laborer or mechanic in any workweek in which he is employed on such Work, to work in excess of forty hours in such workweek unless such laborer or mechanic receives compensation at a rate not less than one and one-half times their basic rate of pay for all hours in excess of forty hours in such workweek.

1.3.2. Overtime wages must be calculated using the Adjusted Wage Rate specified in the Wage Rate Determination or the actual basic rate of pay, whichever is higher.

2. APPRENTICES

2.1. Locally and Federally Funded Projects

2.1.1. The terms journeyman and apprentice apply to both union and independent workers, and are not intended to imply that these positions are union workers only.

2.1.2. Apprentices and Trainees will be permitted to work as such only when they are registered, individually, under a bonafide Apprenticeship or Trainee program registered with the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, United States Department of Labor. The allowable ratio of Apprentices or Trainees to journeymen in any craft classification shall not be greater than the ratio permitted to CONTRACTOR as stated in the registered apprenticeship program standards.

Any employee listed on a payroll at an Apprentice or Trainee wage rate, who is not registered as above, shall be paid the wage rate provided in Contract for Work employee actually performed. CONTRACTOR, Subcontractor, or Subsubcontractor shall furnish to OWNER written evidence of registration of his program for Apprentices and Trainees as well as of the appropriate ratios and wage rates, for the area of construction prior to using any Apprentices or Trainees on this Contract.

3. WITHHOLDING PAYMENTS

3.1. OWNER may withhold or cause to be withheld from CONTRACTOR as much of the accrued payments as necessary to pay laborers and mechanics employed by CONTRACTOR, Subcontractors, or Sub-subcontractors the amount of wages required to comply with the Contract. In the event of nonpayment of wages to laborers or mechanics working on the site of the Work of this Contract, OWNER may, after Written Notice to CONTRACTOR, take such action as may be necessary to cause suspension of any further payments or advance of funds to CONTRACTOR until such violations have ceased and until restitution has been made. Payments may also be withheld if CONTRACTOR fails to maintain weekly payroll reports or fails to provide copies in a timely manner upon request of OWNER.

4. PAYROLLS

4.1. CONTRACTOR shall keep records showing:

4.1.1. The name, address, e-mail address, and occupation of each worker employed by the CONTRACTOR or subcontractor(s) in the construction of the public work.

4.1.2. The actual per diem wages paid to each worker.

4.1.3. Employee Certification. CONTRACTOR, all levels of Subcontractors shall identify in writing, the classification agreed to by all laborers and mechanics employed by them in the execution of the Contract, and pay not less than rates specified in the

Contractor shall prepare a completed form for the signature of Employee and a witness shall sign the form in the presence of Employee. If work performed by worker is different than the trade classification agreed upon, the worker shall be paid for that work no less than the minimum prevailing wage for that specified trade.

4.1.4. Payroll Deduction Authorization Form. CONTRACTOR, Subcontractor, and Sub subcontractor shall prepare for employee signature a payroll deduction authorization form to identify all payroll deductions excluding those required by statute, such as federal income taxes, Medicare and social security.

4.2. The record shall be open at all reasonable hours to inspection by the officers and agents of the OWNER as requested. CONTRACTOR will be responsible to provide copies of records as requested by the OWNER within two (2) working days. Payrolls relating to this Work shall be maintained during term of Contract and preserved for a period of three (3) years thereafter by CONTRACTOR for all laborers and mechanics working on the Work.

4.3. A Statement of Compliance, a letter signed and dated by party responsible for supervising the payment of persons employed by CONTRACTOR or subcontractor shall accompany payrolls required by OWNER. The Statement of Compliance letter shall identify but is not limited to:

4.3.1. Name of signatory party and title

4.3.2. Name of project, payroll period and

4.3.3. Name of CONTRACTOR or Subcontractor

4.4. The signed letter attests that the payroll complies with 29CFR issued by the Secretary of Labor.

4.5. Federal Funding. In the event that federal funding is used:

4.5.1. Contractor and all levels of Subcontractors shall submit weekly certified payroll reports and signed wage compliance statements to the OWNER’s designated office no later than seven (7) calendar days after the scheduled payday.

4.5.2. Contractors and all levels of Subcontractors shall pay all “mechanics and laborers” not less often than once per week, for work performed the previous week.

4.5.3. Submit to the OWNER’s designated office Standard Form 1413, Statement and Acknowledgement, from each subcontractor prior to the subcontractor performing work on the project.

4.5.4. Contractor is responsible for providing a prevailing wage compliance software or application for this project, such as LCPtracker, eMars, or equivalent. Contractor is responsible for all costs associated with purchasing the prevailing wage compliance software or application and should include this cost in their Bid. At a minimum, the software or application must meet the following requirements:

• A web or cloud based, secure system providing an automated process for collecting certified payroll reports

• Provide OWNER access to review certified payrolls for compliance with Section 00830

• Incorporate the contract specific Wage Rates (Section 00830HH and/or BC)

• Provide initial training, setup, and support to all users

• Provide the mapping and capability to import payrolls from both the prime

Rev. Date 10/01/2025 Wage Rates and Payroll Reporting / 00830 Page 4 of 5 and all subcontractors

• No additional cost for multiple users or subcontractors

• Provide error messages and remedies for potential areas of non-compliance

• Store and provide access to worker apprenticeship or trainee certificates

5. NONCOMPLIANCE

5.1. According to Chapter 2258 Texas Government Code Title 10A, a CONTRACTOR or subcontractor(s) who violates this section shall pay to the political subdivision on whose behalf the contract is made, $60 for each worker employed for each calendar day or part of the day that the worker is paid less than the wage rates stipulated in the contract. A public body shall use any money collected under this section to offset the costs incurred in the administration of this chapter.

5.2. Confirmed Disciplinary action taken by CONTRACTOR against employees who provide information during an interview or investigation by the OWNER on wages received, may result in suspension or debarment from consideration of award of City contracts.

5.3. All employers are required to complete Wage Theft Training within 30 days of being awarded a City contract and certify they have not been adjudicated for certain offenses related to the City of Austin’s Wage Theft Ordinance No. 20221002-031.

5.4. The misclassification of employees as independent contractors may deny workers City of Austin minimum wage, overtime pay, and other protections. Any worker who does not have statutory deductions taken out of his pay is considered a subcontractor and must be on the approved compliance plan through ASMBR.

6. AREA PRACTICE

6.1. Heavy and Highway Construction Rates shall be used on this Project, unless the Project consists primarily of Building Construction and Building Construction Rates are to be used.

6.1.1. Building Construction consists generally of all aspects of construction of buildings, which are sheltered enclosures with walk-in access for the purpose of housing persons, machinery, equipment or supplies, including without limitation the installation of utilities and equipment, both above and below grade level, as well as incidental demolition, grading, utilities, paving and other site work.

Buildings need not be “habitable” to be classified as Building Construction and the installation of heavy machinery and/or equipment will not generally change a Building Construction project’s classification.

6.1.2. The determination of Building Construction Wage Rates includes all construction trades and work necessary to complete a building, regardless of the number of contracts involved, so long as all such contracts are closely related in purpose, time and place.

6.2. For projects that involve both Building Construction and Heavy and Highway trades, the following classifications shall be used:

6.2.1. A multiple classification shall be used if Building Construction items are more than 20% of the Heavy and Highway project cost.

6.2.2. A multiple classification shall be used if Heavy and Highway Construction items are more than 20% of the Building Construction Project cost.

6.3. Split classifications/multiple wage rate schedules: When construction work requires that

Rev. Date 10/01/2025 Wage Rates and Payroll Reporting / 00830 Page 5 of 5 an employee perform work under multiple classifications or multiple wage scales, the employer must pay that worker (at least) the highest prevailing wage or the employer payroll records must accurately set forth the times spent performing the work of each classification and under each scale. For those projects that involve both Building Construction and Heavy and Highway trades, the Heavy and Highway wage rates may only be applied to workers when engaged in site work at least five (5) feet beyond the building.

7. WAGE UPDATES AFTER CONTRACT AWARD

7.1. A wage determination modification issued after contract award, or the start of construction will generally not apply to the contract. However, in certain circumstances, such as substantial contract modifications or the exercise of options, an updated wage determination modification must be included in the contract after contract award.

7.2. Wage determinations must be updated after contract award when:

7.2.1. The contract or order is changed to include additional, substantial construction not within the scope of work, or

7.2.2. The contract or order is changed to require the contractor to perform work for an additional time period not originally obligated, including when an option is exercised on a contract or order.

7.3. Wage determinations in contracts requiring construction over a period of time that are not tied to the completion of any particular project (such as IDIQ contracts, schedule contracts, or long-term operations and maintenance contracts) must be updated annually.

7.4. Delivery orders issued under such IDIQ-type contracts must incorporate the most recent wage determination modification in the master contract at the time the delivery order is awarded.

8. TEXAS OPEN RECORDS ACT

8.1. Unless covered by an exception to mandatory disclosure under the Texas Public

Information Act, Chapter 552, Texas Government Code, any and all documents submitted to the City of Austin become Public Records and are, therefore, subject to public disclosure.

Note: *Lead Paint & Asbestos Abatement and Roofer, Metal Classifications have been added to this Prevailing Wage Rate Determination pursuant to a City of Austin Prevailing Wage Survey (trades absent from DOL).

1. ADDITIONAL TRADE INFORMATION

**Electricians - Including low voltage wiring for computers, fire/smoke alarms.

***Elevator Mechanics – 6% under 5 years based on regular hourly rate for all hours worked. 8% over 5 years based on regular hourly rate for all hours worked as Vacations Pay Credit.

Also, must be paid for 8 holidays - New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, the Friday after Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and Veterans Day.

Welders - Receive rate prescribed for craft performing operation to which welding is incidental.

Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within the scope of the classifications listed may be added upon the advance approval of City of Austin Contract Administration.

CONTRACTOR shall submit to City of Austin Contract Administration for review the classification, a bona fide definition of work to be performed and a proposed wage with sample payrolls conforming to area practice prior to the start of the job for that type of work.

2. WAGES

The Total Wage may be met by any combination of cash wages and credible "bona fide" fringe benefits paid for by the employer. Overtime wages must be calculated using the Adjusted Wage Rate specified in the Wage Rate Determination or the actual basic rate of pay, whichever is higher. City of Austin Ordinance No. 20160324-015 Resolution #20160324-020 requires that construction workers are paid a Minimum Wage of at least $22.05/hour. The cash portion of their compensation must meet or exceed this amount.

Rev. Date 01/12/2026 Wage Rates and Payroll Reporting Page 3 of 5 Building Construction Type / 00830BC

3. CREDITING FRINGE BENEFIT CONTRIBUTIONS TO MEET DBA/DBRA AND CITY OF

AUSTIN REQUIREMENTS

The Davis-Bacon Act (and 29 CFR 5.23), list fringe benefits to be considered. Examples are:

> Life Insurance > Health Insurance > Pension > Vacation > Holidays > Sick Leave

Note: The use of a truck is not a fringe benefit; a Thanksgiving turkey or Christmas bonus is not a fringe benefit. No credit may be taken for any benefit required by federal, state, or local law such as: workers compensation, unemployment compensation; or social security contributions.

Contributions to fringe benefit plans must be made regularly, e.g. daily, weekly, etc. They must be more frequent than quarterly. (See 29 CFR 5.5 (a)(1)(I)) A periodic bonus may not be counted as a fringe benefit.

4. ANNUALIZATION OF BENEFIT COSTS

If a firm provides an electrician with $200 per month medical insurance, to calculate allowable fringe benefit credit contributions per hour, the formula ([$200 x 12 months] divided by 2080 hours = $1.15 per hour) should be used.

5. PROPER DESIGNATION OF TRADE

A work classification on the wage decision for each worker must be made based on the actual type of work he/she performed, and each worker must be paid no less than the wage rate on the wage decision for that classification regardless of his or her level of skill.

6. SPLIT CLASSIFICATION

If a firm has employees that perform work in more than one classification, it can pay the wage rates specified f o r each classification ONLY if it maintains accurate time records showing the amount of time spent in each classification. If accurate time records are not maintained, these employees must be paid the highest wage rate of all the classifications of work performed by each worker. Accurate time records tracking how many hours a worker performed the work of one trade and then switched to another trade must be accounted for on a daily basis and reflected on Employer Certified Payroll accordingly.

WELDERS – Receive rate prescribed for craft performing operations to which welding is incidental.

Workers in this classification may be entitled to a higher minimum wage under Executive Order 13658 ($13.30). Please see the Note at the bottom of the wage determination for more information.

Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within the scope of the classifications listed may be added after award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses (29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii)).

The body of each wage determination lists the classification and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical order of "identifiers" that indicate

Rev. Date 01/12/2026 Wage Rates and Payroll Reporting Page 4 of 5 Building Construction Type / 00830BC whether the particular rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate for local), a survey rate (weighted average rate) or a union average rate (weighted union average rate).

6.1. Union Rate Identifiers

A four-letter classification abbreviation identifier enclosed in dotted lines beginning with characters other than "SU" or "UAVG" denotes that the union classification and rate were prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example: PLUM0198-005 07/01/2014. PLUM is an abbreviation identifier of the union which prevailed in the survey for this classification, which in this example would be Plumbers. 0198 indicates the local union number or district council number where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determination. 07/01/2014 is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate, which in this example is July 1, 2014. Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all rate changes in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing this classification and rate.

6.2. Survey Rate Identifiers

Classifications listed under the "SU" identifier indicate that no one rate prevailed for this classification in the survey and the published rate is derived by computing a weighted average rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that classification. As this weighted average rate includes all rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and non- union rates. Example: SULA2012-007 5/13/2014. SU indicates the rates are survey rates based on a weighted average calculation of rates and are not majority rates.

LA indicates the State of Louisiana. 2012 is the year of survey on which these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 5/13/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier. Survey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect until a new survey is conducted.

6.3. Union Average Rate Identifiers

Classification(s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicate that no single majority rate prevailed for those classifications; however, 100% of the data reported for the classifications was union data. EXAMPLE: UAVG-OH-0010 08/29/2014. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union average rate. OH indicates the state. The next number, 0010 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination.

08/29/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.

A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January of each year, to reflect a weighted average of the current negotiated/CBA rate of the union locals from which the rate is based.

7. WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS

7.1. Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can be:

.1 A survey underlying a wage determination

.2 An existing published wage determination

.3 A Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on a wage determination matter

.4 A conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling

On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour Regional Office for the area in which the survey was conducted because those Regional Offices have responsibility for the Davis-Bacon survey

Rev. Date 01/12/2026 Wage Rates and Payroll Reporting Page 5 of 5 Building Construction Type / 00830BC program. If the response from this initial contact is not satisfactory, then the process described in .2 and .3 should be followed.

7.2. With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal process described here, initial contact should be with the Branch of Construction Wage Determinations via Email:

BCWD- Office@dol.gov or Write to:

Branch of Construction Wage Determination Wage and Hour Division U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20210

7.3. If the answer to the question in .1 is yes, then an interested party (those affected by the action) can request review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator (See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7) via Email: dba.reconsideration@dol.gov or Write to:

Wage and Hour Administrator U.S. Department of Labor.

Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20210

The request should be accompanied by a full statement of the interested party's position and by any information (wage payment data, project description, area practice material, etc.) that the requestor considers relevant to the issue.

7.4. If the decision of the Administrator is not favorable, an interested party may appeal directly to the Administrative Review Board (formerly the Wage Appeals Board). Write to:

Administrative Review Board U.S. Department of Labor Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20210

7.5. All decisions by the Administrative Review Board are final.
